Solved: Somewhat Recent Female vocalists

Unable to capture an audio of these two enigmatic songs I turn to you with a written description to decode.

Both songs have female singers and were heard on store audio systems -- so must be somewhat current (less than a year old).

First song sounds a lot like Leigh Nash's (of Six Pence None the Richer) vocal efforts. The song is introduced with, of all things, a mellow synthesized upward sweep of xylophone-like tones and is distinct.

The few lyrics I have may be inaccurately interpreted and include these fragments: "It's a shame, shame, shame...the one before is the same as the last one." Instrumentally there is a, synthesizer again, sounding at times like a rapid french accordion player somewhat.

This is a mood song not a dance song. Good luck!


Song #2.

Lyrics include:

"I'm standing...outside your door" or maybe it's "I'm dancing on this floor and you can't get me off this floor." And followed by maybe "It's my favorite song." The song has few lyrics and repeated with the refrain as best I can perceive as written above. It has a fairly extended fade-out with the singer and guitar(?) sliding down wherein several times the singer gives a "Ouuu-woo"

I will be surprised if either of these two songs can be IDed from these patchy and inconclusive hints.

Thanks!

Song Number #1 may start with an upward intonations of a Vibraphone not a xylophone. Still makes it rather distinct as an intro.

The vocalist sounds mostly like Leigh Nash but also little like Katie Melau in "Twisted" ...

...as well as Julie Ann Bee (Julie Baenziger) of Sea of Bees.

Heard the song for about a minute and captured as accurately as I could a few more lyrics:

"Sad, sad story for a good girl"
"and the rope was set"
"and the stars were out"
"and I took her in"
"and gave her up when he had enough"

---refrain---

"It's a shame, it's a shame a total shame every single boy is the same as the last one."

I Googled the lot and had no hits that corresponded to the song in question.

I cannot seem to find the lyrics for song number two, but I am curious if you may now know it? I've tried googling it but to much no avail.

I believe I've found the second song. "Slippin" by Quadron

That's it EnmaDaiOH!

I bow to your mastery of lyric sluething! The song is obscure and the lyrics are almost non-exisitant on the net. I don't know how you accomplished finding "Slippin" using my erroneous and meager clues.

Here are the best I can make of the lyrics:

*** *** *** *** ***

I was demanded to be oh, so strong

But truth be told I only want myself to tag along

Follow my shadow, loaded with guilt see,

What i didn't know was patching up only makes a quilt

Have to much pleasure from illusions of right

It seems I'd rather lose a friend then a fight
But I’m not young enough to know everything
see what i do know is my alter ego is up-coming

__________

I'm slippin

Cause I can't get me off of this throne

I'm slippin

It’s too much of a comfort zone

I'm slippin

Cause I can't get me off of this throne

Cause I can't get me off of this throne

It’s too much of a comfort zone

I'm slippin

__________

Use persuasion as my strongest approach
I preach my wisdom as a neat friendly poach
Respect you don’t get, it's something you owe
If you can’t do what I do it's 'cause you reap what you sow
Taking my time sharing my weed
Yeah I’m good at listening when I hear myself speak
Once I swell attention tasted
Enough won't do
Every weekend I am wasted

__________

I'm slippin

Cause I can't get me off of this throne

I'm slippin

It’s too much of a comfort zone

I'm slippin

Cause I can't get me off of this throne

cause I can't get me off of this throne

It’s too much of a comfort zone

I'm slippin

Once I swell attention tasted
Enough won't do
Every weekend I am wasted

I heard Song #1 again on a grocery store sound system.

I think I've got a few more lyrics to offer:

"...and the walls blew down...the roof came off the whole damn building and the stars were out."

Also, the one refrain or repeated phrase sounds like, "it's the story of a life now" or "it's the spirit of the light love."


Amazing how difficult it is to catch words in a noisy store when a song unexpectedly drifts down at inopportune moments.

Yes, I am looking for this song too. It's difficult to distinguish most of the lyrics, but I think I have something to contribute . . .

"... every ounce of love and he gave her up when he had enough . . . "

I'm really interested in discovering the name of the first song described: "It's a shame, it's a shame a total shame every single boy is the same as the last one."

I hear it from time to time on XM radio at the store I work at.

If someone does manage to find the title of this great song, I will definitely love them
forever. :3
Heard this at Food Lion, fell in love with the song, and can't find anything. No lyrics posted (the most relevant search on Google is this page), and plays in XM/Muzak enabled stores. My guesses is that it is either a really obscure artist with serious talent, or it is a track made by a production company specifically for a retail environment. I seriously hope for the former because I really like this song.

Artist: Darcie Miner
Song: Rollerskating Song

I am accepting thank you cards, flowers, chocolates, and anything else you would like to send to express your gratitude and appreciation. LOL! I've been searching for this song for two weeks straight on the internet!!! Finally went to Muzak's site, found the station that they play at my work, and kept checking the "What's playing now" list until I saw a song I didn't recognize, plugged it into to Google, and found like a thirty second clip of her playing live on Youtube! I can't believe it was so hard to find! Now, I can finally get my life back. Thank goodness!!!

The full song is on her MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/darcieminer/m...-song-73855007

My next question is, how can such a talented artist be so obscure? o.O

Merry Christmas Elves. I gave up and am so happy jrl continued the search. Cheers!

Best of Music!

And there it is! All that hard work paid off, I would never have been so resourceful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

If you like "Rollerskating", in my search I found two other artists with songs that are in a similar vein (I guess) and worthy of a listen:



Ellie Goulding - I'll Hold My Breath

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a9BiYEup0o

...and...

Zero 7 - Swing (CD version with: Martha Tilson)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw8-Yt2Ai3Q

Zero 7 - Swing (live version with: Oliva Chaney)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OQFseHhsMg

The last is a fantastic video/song as are other Zero 7 songs with Chaney!

Took awhile for these to come out but here are the lyrics:

---------

Rollerskating Song

It’s a sad, sad story from the get-go
He met her at a roller skating disco
And the roof was off the whole damn building
And the stars were out and they made a good ceiling

They skated all night long

He took, took, took her hand in laughter
She’s awkward, this could be disaster
And he drained her of every ounce of love
And he gave her up when he had enough

They skated all night long

It’s a shame, it’s a shame she’s so ashamed
Every single boy is just the same as the last one
It’s a shame, it’s a shame she’s so ashamed
Every single boy is just the same as the last one

They skated all night long
